Nepanthes alata

This plant eats flies and insects. Originating from Southeast Asia these these strangely beautiful plants have developed carnivorous feeding habits to boost their nitrogen intake. Pitchers, formed from modified leaves, develop from swellings at the end of long tendrils. Insects, once attracted to the lip of the pitcher, fall into the traps and are unable to escape due to the steep, slippery sides. The pitcher acts like a stomach, digesting the helpless insect. Easy to care for and useful too.

Dionea Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Fly trap is one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow, Good light, stand in a saucer of water.They are native to boggy areas of Carolina in the USA. The leaves of Venus'' Fly trap open wide and on them are short, stiff trigger or hairs. When anything touches these hairs enough to bend them, they close trapping whatever is inside. The trap doesn''t close all of the way at first. It is thought that it stays open for a few seconds in order to allow very small insects to escape because they wouldn''t provide enough food.
